If you love Chipotle restaurant’s burrito bowl, you’ll love my Chipotle Style Chicken Burrito Bowl with a healthy kick.
A few weeks ago, I was on a Chipotle restaurant copycat kick and had batches of Chipotle Style Cilantro Lime Brown Rice, Slow Cooker Chipotle Style Black Beans, and Slow Cooker Chicken Carnitas sitting in my refrigerator.
I ate all different combinations of these throughout the day – some days just rice and beans, or black beans with the soup and hot sauce. One day I made enchiladas, some with leftover chicken carnitas and some with the black beans.
There are so many ways to enjoy all these staple ingredients once you make a batch. This Chipotle Style Chicken Burrito Bowl is probably my favorite and most fun.
You can customize your burrito bowl any way you like – rice, beans, chicken, guacamole (mashed avocado, lime juice and salt), salsa (fresh tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeno, salt), Greek yogurt, shredded low-fat cheese, and baby kale make great toppings.
Personally, I went heavy on the baby kale which I love.

Liz – my kids love Chipotle – but it is expensive for a large family. So glad we can make a healthy version at home now.
I just had this last night but with the steak! It’s amazing!!! I agree Liz, I can eat chipotle everyday and not get tired of it. The best part is that its healthy!
Layla – these flavors are great in so much recipes – very versatile, which is what I like about this.
So tasty sounding and nice and healthy!

I get this all the time at Chipotle, but have never thought about making it myself until now. Thanks for sharing– I can’t wait to try this!
Hope you enjoy making your own Chipotle style burrito bowl at home – so much more economical and easy too!
I have a HUGE weakness for Chipotle and especially the bowls, I’ve been wanting to recreate them for a while now, thanks for the kick-start!
Sue – I get the bowls when we go to Chipotle too – the toppings are the fun part!
looks great Jeanette! On my list to make
Thank you so much for this! I’ve been dying for Chipotle lately and this definitely hits the spot! 🙂
Amanda – there’s definitely something cozy about a burrito bowl – enjoy!
This looks amazing Jeanette! My husband is a big fan of Chipotle and could probably eat there all the time but it can get pricey. I can’t wait to make all these healthier versions for him at home 🙂
Love this lighter version of Chipotle burrito bowl! I would eat two bowls and love that we can customize to our liking and eat at home!
Sounds tasty! Adding to my “recipes to try” board on Pinterest!
Thanks David – enjoy!
